You can get some clues from the last line, in the file specified "/usr/tmp/..." This apparently brought your system down, and you will probably get the same error if you try doing again what you did before. Sometimes a simple thing such as querying a sysmaster table can cause such a problem--I've seen it happen. And on another system the same problem may never show up... :-) -- Tim Schaefer \\\\|// tschaefe@mindspring.com (6 6) ------------------------oOOo---( )---o00o--------- http://www.inxutil.com
